multiple header problem

[Touqeer Ahmed Ahson]

Hello

I am trying to group multiple columns under a single column in grid. suppose I have two columns 'city' and 'country' and I made another column named 'address' as their header, by merging cells. so address column header have two children column headers, city and country.
now problem is whenever I click on the address column it just selects left most child column. I want to select all the columns that lies under the main column.

similarly when I click on any of child column header, it does not select its respective column, even though i have tried to set its cellType, Header and ColumnheaderCell.

Hi Touqeer,

This can be achieved by handling the CellClick event of the grid and use Model.Selection property to add the selection in a grid. The following is the code snippet.

private void gridDataBoundGrid1_CellClick(object sender, GridCellClickEventArgs e)
{
if( e.RowIndex == 0 )
{
e.Cancel = true;
GridDataBoundGrid grid = sender as GridDataBoundGrid;
grid.Model.Selections.Clear(true);
GridRangeInfo info = grid.Model.CoveredRanges.FindRange(e.RowIndex,e.ColIndex);
grid.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cols(info.Left,info.Right));
}
if( e.RowIndex == 1 )
{
e.Cancel = true;
GridDataBoundGrid grid = sender as GridDataBoundGrid;
grid.Model.Selections.Clear(true);
grid.Model.Selections.Add(GridRangeInfo.Cells(1,e.ColIndex,grid.Model.RowCount,e.ColIndex ));
}
}

Please refer to the attached sample for implementation.

Hi Haneef

Hi Touqeer,

One way you can do this by derving the GridDragSelectMouseController class and overide HitTest. There you can adjust the return value so it is GridHitTestContext.SelectedRange if you are over row 1(sub column header) and row 0 (covered column header). You would have to remove the old controller and register your derived one with code like:

IMouseController controller = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.MouseControllerDispatcher.Find("DragSelect");
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.MouseControllerDispatcher.Remove(controller);
this.gridDataBoundGrid1.MouseControllerDispatcher.Add(new MyGridDragSelectMouseController(this.gridDataBoundGrid1));

Best regards,
Haneef
